This afternoon a female Merlin flew in and perched on the neighbor's
redwood for nearly 10 minutes. It looked to me to be a columbarius: not as
dark as suckleyi, with a faint moustache and a quite prominent pale
superciliary stripe.  I got some decent pictures - not Verne Nelson
quality, but not too bad for me.  I was able to go in to get my telephoto
lens, but she left when I was getting my scope.
